April 23, 1998|By KORKY VANN; Special to The Courant

Crafty bargain hunters have long known to visit Jay Mar stores for buys on art and hobby supplies. Right now, the deals are even better at the chain's Rocky Hill location, where everything is marked down 50 percent to clear out inventory for the store's closing the first week in May.

Remaining stock includes a wide selection of silk flowers originally priced at $5 to $50; Christmas ornaments, originally $3 to $30; and decorative ribbon for gift-making and interior design, originally $2 to $100 a roll. (Ribbon is sold both by the yard and by the roll).

Additional merchandise includes needlepoint kits and frames, craft and art supplies, wedding favors, strings of Christmas lights and a limited selection of party supplies.

All items are final sale, no exchanges or returns. Payment is with credit card or cash, no checks accepted. The Rocky Hill Jar Mar store is at the corner of Townline Road and the Silas Deane Highway, next door to Dress Barn. (Take Exit 24 off I-91). Store hours are 9 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Information: (860) 721-1101.
